I doubt the Sox sign both Yamamoto and Nola. Very highly.
If the Sox need 2 starting pitchers, and simply do not have an unlimited budget, who do you sign?
1. Nola/Snell/Yamamoto and Alex Cobb
2. Sonny Gray and Marcus Stroman
Nola, Snell and Yamamoto were all on MLBTRs top ten free agent list, along with Giolito (for some reason) and Urias (I believe the list predates his issues). But not Gray and Stroman.
And the new wild card who should presumably hit their next top ten is Trevor Bauer…
